I started the series and got 3. Now feel horrible because there was no reason to start and worrying more that the vaccine may give the virus. I took Rabavert series and keep feeling imovax would have been better as it is hdcv. I wish to undo all the events that happened in the past few days.

Only comfort is knowing many travelers take the prep before travel and also vets take it often.

Received 4 doses of RabAvert, keep thinking Imovax is better considering it is from human cells. Also keep thinking this rabavert series is not taken by many people and it might cause dormant rabies.

I’m looking for some guidance about whether this would be considered a rabies exposure.
We found the dry remains of a small wild bird in our yard. It had been outside for at least 4 hours in sunny weather (around 63–75°F). A family member wore gloves, used a piece of cardboard to place the bird into a plastic bag, and then tapped the dry cardboard twice to knock any remaining debris into the bag near my face while I was holding it . I was wearing a mask but eyes are open. I was not bitten or scratched, and I did not notice any saliva or tissue splash into my eyes, nose, or mouth.
My concern is this: raccoon had previously eaten the bird and if it left saliva or tissue on it, could any droplet mist or dry airborne debris generated by tapping the cardboard pose a rabies risk, especially to the eyes? Or would the virus no longer be viable once the material was dry and exposed to the environment?
I’m interested in evidence-based or public health guidance rather than guesses.
Thank you.
